"Did you all warm up?"
"Y-yes. Th-thank you very much."
Kira looked much healthier than when he had seen her at the shop, so Qiong Xing nodded and gently patted her head.
"Your hair is long, so should I tie it up for you?"
Since it had never been cut, it reached down to her waist.
Qiong Xing tied it up with a cute ribbon so it would not get in the way of eating, but she had become unusually quiet and withdrawn since earlier.
"Alright, everyone, let's eat."
The children cheered "It's dinner!" and carried the food over.
"Let's eat."
"Let's eat!"
"Let's eat!!!"
"Yeah, eat!"
"Meat!!!"
"..."
"..."
While the children eagerly dug into their meal, the two sisters remained hunched over, not moving at all.
"What's wrong? You must be hungry. Is there something you don't like?"
"...?"
The two of them tilted their heads in confusion, so Qiong Xing realized something and told them it was okay to eat.
They looked surprised.
